It\u2019s the first doubleheader of the season! After Wednesday\u2019s game was postponed due to inclement weather, the San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies will play twice today. It\u2019s a split doubleheader, with the first game starting at 9:35 a.m. PT, and the second scheduled for 2:35 p.m. PT. So you get a two-game gamethread!<\/p>\n
Starting the first game for the Giants is their ace, Logan Webb. The 29-year old right-hander is still trying to get his season going through six starts, and is 2-3 with a 4.86 ERA, a 3.31 FIP, and 32 strikeouts against 13 walks in 37 innings. He gave up three earned runs in seven innings against the Los Angeles Dodgers his last time out.<\/p>\n
As for the Phillies, they\u2019re also sending a 29-year old All-Star to the mound in the form of left-hander Christopher S\u00e1nchez. In six starts this year, S\u00e1nchez is 2-2 with a 2.94 ERA, a 2.61 FIP, and 43 strikeouts against 10 walks in 33.2 innings. He got rocked in his last start, giving up six runs in 5.1 innings against the Chicago Cubs.<\/p>\n
Things are less clear for the second half of the doubleheader. The Giants have not announced a starter for that game, as they\u2019re mulling their choices between starting Adrian Houser and opting for a bullpen game. Since they don\u2019t have an off-day until next Thursday, they\u2019ll need to go to a bullpen game at some point in the coming days; it\u2019s just a matter of when they want to do it.<\/p>\n
The Phillies, however, have named their Game 2 starter: right-hander Andrew Painter. The 23-year old has made four starts, and five total appearances this year, and is 1-2 with a 5.25 ERA, a 3.33 FIP, and 21 strikeouts to six walks in 24 innings. He gave up five runs in 5.2 innings against the Atlanta Braves in his last game.<\/p>\n
Per the doubleheader rules, both teams are allowed to add a 27th player to the roster for the day. Both teams have called on a right-handed pitcher from their AAA squad: Trevor McDonald for the Giants, and Nolan Hoffman for the Phillies.<\/p>\n
